England's best alfresco city drinkinghttps://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/aug/24/travelfoodanddrink.bars
Summer is the perfect time for lounging around in pub gardens, so we asked beer expert Melissa Cole for her pick of the country's best inns. This week: alfresco drinking in city centres<p><strong>White Horse, Parsons Green, London</strong></p><p>The White Horse is my idea of beer nirvana; with its historic roots as a coaching inn and gin palace, it has a grandeur that many pubs have sacrificed for blandness. It also has a bar full of handpumps that will set any beer fan's heart racing. The beer garden may be more patio than lawn and flowerbeds, but it always has a buzz about it and the barbecue is legendary (020 7736 2115; <a href="http://www.whitehorsesw6.com">whitehorsesw6.com</a>). </p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/aug/24/travelfoodanddrink.bars">Continue reading...</a>Food and drinkBars and clubsRestaurantsTravelLife and styleFood & drinkManchester holidaysLiverpool holidaysYorkshire holidaysLondon holidaysUnited Kingdom holidaysEngland holidaysSat, 23 Aug 2008 23:01:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/aug/24/travelfoodanddrink.barsPhotograph: PRBeer nirvana ...

Summer is the perfect time for lounging around in pub gardens, so we asked beer expert Melissa Cole for her pick of the country's best inns. This week: waterside pubs<p><strong>The Jolly Sailor, Hampshire</strong></p><p>This pub is difficult to leave for a number of reasons, not least the enormous set of steps you have to climb back to the road. Overlooking the stretch of the Hamble where Nelson's flagship for the Battle of Copenhagen, Elephant, was built, the pub still has moorings for thirsty sailors who might fancy dropping in for a drink. Built in 1713 and a pub since 1845, it also found fame in 1980s soap Howard's Way. But the real charm of this riverside hostelry is that it serves great quality rustic food and some excellent beers from Badger (023 8040 5557).</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/aug/17/travelfoodanddrink.restaurants">Continue reading...</a>Food and drinkRestaurantsBars and clubsFood & drinkRestaurantsTravelUnited Kingdom holidaysSat, 16 Aug 2008 23:01:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/aug/17/travelfoodanddrink.restaurantsPhotograph: AlamyThe Ship Inn overlooks Mousehole harbour in Cornwall.

This week: rural pubs<p><strong>The following correction was printed in the Observer's For the record column, Sunday August 17 2008</strong></p><p>The article below said the Boat Inn, Penallt, Monmouthshire, could be accessed 'only by walking over an iron bridge from the Monmouthshire village of Redbrook, meaning you have to cross from Britain to Wales ... '. Not only is Wales part of Britain, Redbrook is in Gloucestershire and anyway you can get to the inn by road.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/aug/10/beer.girl">Continue reading...</a>TravelRestaurantsBars and clubsFood and drinkFood & drinkRestaurantsUnited Kingdom holidaysSat, 09 Aug 2008 23:01:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/travel/2008/aug/10/beer.girlPhotograph: Elliot SmithThe Square &amp; Compass, Dorset ...
